Mission, Vision & Values
What Guides This Work
We believe financial circumstances, illness, disability, or age should never determine a person's dignity, worth, or opportunity to belong.
Mission
Our Mission
The CHA Foundation exists to improve the quality of life of older adults and support the families who care for them by expanding access to compassionate assistance, caregiver resources, education, healthy-aging initiatives, and meaningful community connection.
Vision
Our Vision
A community where every older adult is seen, valued, supported, and connected, and where every caregiver knows they do not have to navigate the journey alone.
Our Values
What Guides This Work
Dignity
Age, illness, and disability may change what someone can do. They never change who someone is.
Compassion
We meet people where they are, with kindness, empathy, and respect rather than judgment.
Belonging
There was always another seat at Cha's table. We strive to create that same sense of welcome and inclusion.
Resilience
We believe circumstances do not have to define a person's future. Like Cha, we believe in the ability to emerge from the rubble.
Family
Caregiving affects entire families. We support older adults while recognizing and honoring the people who care for them.
Stewardship
Every donation, partnership, and act of service represents someone's trust. We are committed to using resources responsibly and transparently.
Faith & Service
CHA Foundation was inspired in part by Cha's deep Christian faith and belief in the dignity of every person. In the spirit of the table she opened to everyone, our doors are open to people of every faith, background, and circumstance.
We believe dignity isn't something you lose with age. It's something a community protects.
